Chapter 51: The Mage, the Bread, and the Water
"You're here to find me? But I think you seem to be being chased by those snowmen......" Gianna looked Song Zheng up and down with some hesitation.
Feeling her suspicious gaze, Song Zheng was quite speechless, because he was in a hurry to escape last night, he abandoned the armor of the knight lieutenant, and after drilling in the jungle all night, he now looked even more embarrassed than the average homeless man.
"I'm really responsible for looking for Your Royal Highness the Princess, and you're also a knight lieutenant, but we all thought that Your Royal Highness the Princess would be in the area of Mount Dalong, so most of them searched in the mountains and forests over there, but I didn't expect Your Royal Highness the Princess that you have already arrived in the Alterac Mountains." Song Zheng explained helplessly.
"This is the Alterac Mountains?" Gianna's eyes widened when she heard this, and she asked in surprise.
Song Zheng couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, it seemed that Gianna didn't seem to know where she was!
"Yes, this is already in the middle of the Alterac Mountains, and beyond that is the land of ice and snow, how did you get here, Your Highness Princess?" Song Zheng asked in surprise, he really couldn't understand why Gianna appeared here since he didn't know what this place was.
Gianna frowned slightly, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "When I was attacked that night, almost all the guards and knights around me were killed, and I originally wanted to fight with those knights to the end, but Count Tanan used a scroll to return to the city, wanting to forcibly take me back to Dalaran, but there seemed to be some problems on the way, and as a result, I was teleported to this mountain forest......"
"Count Tanan?" Song Zheng didn't know who the Earl of Tanan was, but that guy did save Gianna's life.
As for the so-called scroll of returning to the city, you don't need to think about it, you know that it must be a high-end product made by the mages, and it can directly teleport and escape in times of crisis, which is far better than running in the mountains and forests like yourself.
"Alas...... So many knights fought to protect me, but I abandoned my knights in the end......" Perhaps recalling the past, Gianna's face was full of guilt and pain.
"No, they all died heroically to protect you, princess, and if you are safe, they will be considered successful, and if you die together, it will be the greatest defeat and pain for them." Song Zheng hurriedly comforted.
"Really...... I thought magic would be omnipotent, and I thought that I could save everyone with my own magic, but ......" Gianna shook her head bitterly, perhaps too sad, and one of her stumbles almost fell, but fortunately supported it with the staff in her hand.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, your magic is indeed very strong, just now it was all thanks to your magic I escaped, the last failure was just that the enemy was too strong, and we were ambushed by the enemy, it is difficult to change the outcome with magic alone, we better get out of here as soon as possible, this Alterac Mountains is said to be the lair of syndicate thieves!" Song Zheng hurriedly persuaded.
It is indeed a very lucky thing to meet Gianna here, if she can be sent back to Nanhai Town safely, it will definitely be a great achievement, maybe she can really let herself be a nobleman, so naturally she can't be too sad, in case she can't think about it for a while and commits suicide, then she will be busy in vain.
"Get out of here...... So where to go? I don't know Lu ......" Gianna's voice lowered, her expression a little embarrassed.
"I've heard that your father has arrived in Nanhai Town with a fleet, and it should be safest for us to return to Nanhai Town now if we head south." Song Zheng said and pointed to the guide.
"My father is here? Since he's in Nanhai Town, then we don't have to go. Hearing this, Gianna smiled and gently pulled the long hair that was slightly scattered around her ears, it seemed that she had become much more relaxed after learning that her father had arrived in Nanhai Town.
"So where are we going?" Song Zheng asked in surprise.
"Just stay here, didn't you just say that this is the lair of those syndicate thieves, I will now avenge the knights who died in the battle, and kill all the syndicate thieves who attacked us!" Gianna said, looking up at the higher part of the mountain.
Although his face still looks very weak and pitiful, his eyes are full of determination.
"......" looked at Gianna's beautiful and resolute appearance, and Song Zheng was completely speechless.
I don't know if Lordaeron's folk customs are like this, it seems that the girls he meets are extraordinarily strong, like Bridget is also bent on going to the front to participate in the battle, and even a little priest like Sally dares to sneak out of the city to drill in the dangerous Alterac Mountains.
And Gianna seems to be beautiful and gentle, but her heart is probably stronger and stronger than Bridget.
"Alas...... Maybe this is the real Gianna, who was born noble but suffered disaster after disaster, so that she finally became extremely paranoid from a pure idealist......" Song Zheng couldn't help but sigh secretly when he thought of Gianna's future destiny.
Gianna's fate is definitely bumpy, if it weren't for her strong heart, it is estimated that she would have fallen long ago.
And thinking that it was she who saved herself from the claws of those snowmen just now, this can be regarded as her own life-saving benefactor, and maybe she should help her at a critical moment in the future.
"Will you help me?" Gianna's clear voice sounded again.
Song Zheng naturally didn't have the impulse to destroy the nest of syndicate thieves, he came to the Alterac Mountains just to take refuge, but now in front of Gianna, he obviously wanted to leave, but when the words came to his lips, they became "I am willing to help Your Royal Highness the princess kill those hateful syndicate thieves together!" ”
"Very well, you are also a brave knight, I am not familiar with this mountain forest, let you be my guide, we must kill all the syndicate thieves in this mountain." Gianna smiled.
And in Song Zheng's eyes, this smile is enough to captivate the country and the city, and turn all beings upside down!
However, although it is very dangerous to follow Gianna to destroy the syndicate thieves in the Alterac Mountains, once you succeed, you may also gain countless experience points!
Upgrade! This is a very important thing for Song Zheng, and it can even be said that he needs to do the first priority when facing the imminent great crisis of the undead natural disaster.
"If you want to survive this crisis of the undead natural disaster, you must at least go up to level fifty or sixty like in the game......" Song Zheng secretly calculated.
If you can get the full thief skill, you may be able to change some things, and even change the fate of some people!
"I am very happy to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess, my name is Song Zheng, and I am a thief...... Well, a knight lieutenant. Song Zheng saluted Gianna very formally and introduced himself.
However, before the two of them could figure out how to exterminate those syndicate thieves, a burst of hungry bowel sounds rang out, some from Song Zheng's womb and some from Gianna.
"I'm sorry, I've been lost in the mountains for the past few days, and I haven't found any food...... Gianna's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head shyly.
"This ...... Doesn't a mage use magic to make bread and water? ”
"Make bread and water out of magic? Water can be easily crafted by summoning a water elemental, but bread ...... Even if I had flour, I wouldn't make it. ”
